You are welcome to join us on our tango journey…may our show Corazon de Tango & Tango Fatal touch your heart and soul.

TANGO FATAL is an international Argentine tango dance company based in Trieste (Italy). The idea for Tango Fatal originated with Guillermo Berzins, a world-renowned Argentine tango dancer and choreographer, who decided to bring the magic of this passionate dance to Europe, continuing the tradition started by many illustrious predecessors who made Argentine tango well-known and loved worldwide.

The show has a big emotional impact. Thanks to skilful and innovative lighting, the sensual and mysterious porteño atmosphere comes to life on the stage, all the same maintaining an abstract, suspended in time setting. This is why it always seems up to date and contemporary and it never diverts the audience’s attention and focus from dancing, which remains the foremost element.

Dancing on the romantic and dramatic melodies of the most well-known tangos while combining rhythms from different tango ages with Argentinian folklore’s infectious energy and astounding contemporary choreography, it’s a pretty safe bet that TANGO FATAL will fascinate you!

In addition to the stage show, presently on tour in several European towns, with its ensemble of 17 performing artists, TANGO FATAL can offer customised events using various personnel meeting any need and request.
